The Railway Ministry splurged 18.5 million yuan (US$2.9 million) on a promotional video without public bidding, one of the irregularities the country's top auditor found in its annual report.
The video, Chinese Railways, was directed by world-renowned Chinese film director Zhang Yimou and played at the opening of the 7th World Congress on High Speed Rail in Beijing in December 2010.
The National Audit Office said yesterday that the Railway Ministry invested the huge amount of money in the video without a public bidding process and the video failed to meet expectations.
The video showed China's railway development in the past decades.
The ministry was also found to illegally shorten the time for bids on infrastructure work on the Shanghai-Beijing High-Speed Railway from five days to 13 hours, reducing opportunities for bidders, the report said.
